How to Rearrange App Icons on Apple Watch to Get the Most out of the Tiny Screen

Apple Watch is undoubtedly the smartest gadget out there in the market. There are hardly any limitations or drawbacks of Apple Watch. The only problem that I personally find irritating is that to locate any specific app on the tiny screen. Yes, there is an option to magnify the app layout, but that’s not feasible every time.

Thanks to Apple, they let us arrange the app icons to suit our requirement. You can arrange the most used apps in one corner and least used in another. There are two ways to rearrange app icons on Apple Watch: one is from Apple Watch itself and other is from iPhone. We have covered both the methods below; just have a look at it.
